   The elevation in NAVD 88 would be: 54.2 + -0.609 = 53.591 or 53.6 ft. Remember, if you add a negative number to the existing elevation, the resulting elevation will be a lower number. In the second example, the conversion factor for Arroyo Seco is 2.99.

   What is the average conversion to NAVD 88?

   • An average conversion of 0.1 foot or less could be deceiving in areas that contain conversions to NAVD 88 that show large plus and minus variances. To illustrate this point, Table 2 shows a hypothetical datum conversion analysis where the average conversion to NAVD 88 was calculated as -0.09 foot.

   What is NAVD 88?

   • In 1993 NAVD 88 was affirmed as the official vertical datum in the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) for the Conterminous United States and Alaska (see Federal Register Notice (FRN)). Although many papers on NAVD 88 exist, no single document serves as the official defining document for that datum.

   When will NAVD 88 be replaced?

   • NAVD 88, along with North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83), is set to be replaced in 2025 with a new geometric reference frame and geopotential datum, based on GPS and gravimetric geoid models. Illustration of vertical datums in the United States.

   How do you convert NAVD 88 to NGVD 29?

   • The simplest method is to use the offset used by FEMA. In the eastern United States, the conversion factor is generally a single value for the whole community/county. NAVD 88 is lower than NGVD 29 in the east, so the conversion factor will be a negative number. The elevation converted to NAVD 88 will be a lower number than the elevation in NGVD 29.

   Quebec, Canada, was held fixed as the constraint, enabling NAVD 88 and the International Great Lakes Datum of 1985 to be one and the same. Now, other tide stations may have elevations other than zero. Since the establishment of NAVD 88, the preference has been for new flood hazard studies to be referenced to NAVD 88. 1.3.

   NAVD 88 was established in 1991 by the minimum-constraint adjustment of geodetic leveling observations in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. It held fixed the height of the primary tide gauge benchmark , referenced to the International Great Lakes Datum of 1985 local mean sea level (MSL) height value, at Rimouski , Quebec , Canada .

   VERTCON 3.0 was a project whose intent was to create new “build software”, and use that software to build and release transformation grids capable of performing orthometric height transformations for a range of datums and regions in the National Spatial Reference System. Those new grids (and supporting information) are called VERTCON 3.0 ...

   Nov 4, 2020 · The NAVD 88 used some of the original data from 1929 but also re-leveled about 100,000 km. Originally scheduled to be completed in 1988, it was finished on June 15, 1991. The new datum produced fewer distortions than earlier vertical datums and more accurate elevations, according to Remondi.
